ENTM 4100 Insect Behavior (3 credits, offered fall semester, odd years)
This course provides comprehensive overview of the principles of animal behavior using insects as examples, ranging from mechanisms and functions of behavior to their ecological and evolutionary significance. We also cover recent research on insect behavior, integrative approaches for studying behavior, and how this knowledge can be applied to solve human challenges.
ENTM 7008 Special Topics in Entomology - Insect Chemical Ecology (1 credit, offered fall semester, even years)
This course offers a fundamental introduction to insect chemical ecology, and introduces methods used to study the interaction of insects with their chemical environment. Students will have hands-on opportunities for chemical collection and behavioral analysis, and participate in discussion of recent research.
ENTM 4099 Undergraduate Entomological Research (1-3 credits, offered every semester upon request)
We host and mentor undergraduate students to conduct independent research projects in our lab in the areas of insect social behavior, genetics, chemical ecology, or urban pest management. Students will be trained in literature review, experimental design and performance, data analysis, as well as writing and presentation of research.
